Assessment

Course assessment consists of two written exams, one for groundwater ( 7 credits) and one for runoff ( 3 credits), along with approved project work and written and oral presentation of reports (5 credits).

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
